Classic '70's songs (the GENUINE classics)

I was waiting to see if Quiteus would finally get to a decent decade, but I'm tired of waiting.

Let's see how many true classic songs we can post now that there's a decent well to draw from. I'll get us started with a few of the most obvious:

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven

Foghat - Slow Ride

Pink Floyd - Fat Old Sun

the Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Takin' Care of Business (my personal favorite so far... you just gotta love a song that's all about being a lazy-ass bum. :jester:)

Free - All Right Now (Technically speaking, I think this came out in '69 or so, but it's close enough, at least in spirit.)

Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper

Kansas - Carry On my Wayward Son

And, of course, by necessity:
Boston - More than a Feeling

Now post 'em!

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

And I found the One More from the Road version too (at least I think it is.) I'm so sorry, man.

Skynyrd - Free Bird
Doors- Riders on the Storm
Stones - Gimme Shelter
CCR - Run Through the Jungle
Derek and the Dominos/Clapton - Layla

I could probably keep listing these for hours. Quite possibly the best musical decade ever.

Take A Walk On The Wild Side - Lou Reed

Knocking on Heaven's Door - Bob Dylan

I always preferred the original version, since no one sings Dylan like Dylan.

Gimme Danger - Iggy Pop & The Stooges

Re: Classic '70's songs (the GENUINE classics)

Making an exception of multiple picks for the greatest ever :bow::

"Forever Loving Jah" - Bob Marley & the Wailers. Technically '80, but really a 70s tune.

"Guiltiness" - Bob Marley & the Wailers. (Blocked in Youtube).

"Africa Unite" - Bob Marley & the Wailers.

"Rebel Music" - Bob Marley & the Wailers.

"Sun Is Shining" - Bob Marley & the Wailers. (Alternate version. The best version is blocked in Youtube).

And one from Tosh:

"I Am That I Am" - Peter Tosh

Re: Classic '70's songs (the GENUINE classics)

Great thread Rev!

AC/DC - It's a Long Way to the Top if You Want to Rock and Roll - Feature the late, great Bon Scott as lead singer, arguably AC/DC's best singer and without a doubt one of the best lyricists of that era. This is also the best hard rock song (and perhaps the only one?) that sports bagpipes... and doesn't suck!

And... like most AC/DC song from the Scott era, it's a kickass song to drive to. :2thumbsup:

And just to prove that white people aren't the only ones with cheesy music... The Commodores - Brick House

Sorry to hijack your whole thing Quietus.

Also, that reminds me... Wings - Band on the Run

(Anyone who criticizes Guitar Hero should remember the songs it introduces the newer audiences to.)
